In May 2024, the Department for Education announced that all schools must have a Music Development Plan. This initiative is part of the National Music Plan, 'The Power of Music to Change Lives'. 

New Swannington is committed to providing all children with a broad and balanced curriculum. We recognise the significant value of ensuring high-quality music education for every child. Therefore, we have developed our school Music Development Plan and eagerly anticipate implementing our ideas to enhance the profile of this subject.
